Re: Bucs bench Josh Freeman

Wow. The only guy on that list who is even remotely worthy of being mentioned in the same conversation as Flacco is Matt Ryan. 2008 produced two greats at the QB position in a way a single draft hasn't had but a few times in the common draft era.

I remember when he had his players go after the knees of the offensive line on the victory formation plays. The offensive players said the Bucs were apologizing before the play saying "we have to do this".

My high school coach even taught us that was BS

And Schiano's response was basically we are trying to win. Well yeah maybe you should of tried that before the game was basically over. You can't play that hardass coach role unless you are a proven winner like Coughlin or Parcells. Players aren't going to respect a guy like Schiano coming into the NFL from college trying to control grown men like college players.

That's why I like Harbaugh. I feel like he has a good mix of being a players coach and a disciplinarian.

Re: Bucs bench Josh Freeman

Do we think anyone will trade for Freeman? Depending on the price there could be a chance, but it would still be difficult for Freeman to be successful this year, going to a completely new team and possibly learning a completely new system. I don't see a team signing Freeman to the extension he desires right now, so I don't see Tampa Bay getting a very favorable deal, given the circumstances.

Re: Bucs bench Josh Freeman

Anyone remember when we played the Bucs a few years back? The boards were inundated with Bucs fans, talking more shit than any Steeler fan.

Jacksonville should consider taking a flyer on him but the problem is, this is the last year of his contract. If he plays well he's going to want to get paid. I doubt any team wants to go there
